The design of an environmental index of sustainable food consumption: A pilot study using supermarket data
Panzone, Luca A.; Wossink, Ada; Southerton, Dale - In: Ecological Economics 94 (2013) C, pp. 44-55
Monitoring of the environmental impacts of consumption is necessary for the evaluation of current performance and to support the understanding of how initiatives for change can be implemented. We discuss design issues and methodology for an Environmentally Sensitive Shopper (ESS) index to...

Seasonality Matters : A Multi-Season, Multi-State Dynamic Optimization in Fishery
Ni, Yuanming - 2018
Many biological and economic processes in fishery happen seasonally. Most of the extant literature tends to neglect this fact. This work is an initial attempt to treat seasonality in a systematic and proper way. We apply a periodic Bellman approach to obtain the optimal feedback policy of each...

Greed is Good : From Super-Harvest to Recovery in a Stochastic Predator-Prey System
Ni, Yuanming - 2019
This paper demonstrates a predator-prey system of cod and capelin that confronts a possible scenario of prey extinction under the first-best policy in a stochastic world. We discover a novel ‘super-harvest' phenomenon that the optimal harvest of the predator is even higher than the myopic...

Optimization of Age-Structured Bioeconomic Model : Recruitment, Weight Gain and Environmental Effects
Ni, Yuanming - 2019
More and more fishery researchers begin to acknowledge that one-dimensional biomass models may omit key information when generating management guidelines. For the more complicated age-structured models, numerous parameters require a proper estimation or a reasonable assumption. In this paper,...

Measuring Eco-efficiency of Production: A Frontier Approach
Kortelainen, Mika; Kuosmanen, Timo - EconWPA - 2004
Eco-efficiency of production is an important concept both from the viewpoint of society and business community; but as yet, there is no unambiguous way to its measurement. The purpose of this paper is to present a general measurement framework based on production theory and the activity analysis...

Constructing the FEEM sustainability index: A Choquet-integral application
Cruciani, Caterina; Giove, Silvio; Pinar, Mehmet; … - 2013
This paper presents an application of a multi-attribute aggregation methodology to the construction of a sustainability index. Sustainability is a multi-faceted issue, in which synergies or conflicts may arise among the different components, thus making it a complex concept to which multi...
